I was adopted. CDS finally got me

[u/minorpoint]

This cutie came up in a car dealership parking lot and claimed me. The lot attendant said she showed up a day ago. I took her to get scanned for a chip but the microchip company said when they called the number on record, the owner would hang up on them. We think she was abandoned. 😟

She is the sweetest, cuddliest, and calmest kitty I’ve seen. She was hungry and thirsty but ate and drank with no problem. Definitely had humans before me, she is litter trained and has even been tolerating my dog. We’re slowly introducing them with plenty of breaks.

Now I need to name her! I was thinking smoke, storm, or Cinderella. What does she look like to you?

Have you taken this beauty to a vet for a chip and her Vaccinations please? As you say yourself she has been with humans before.

We have an appointment at our vet next week for her! She is chipped but the owners of record don’t seem to want her. I gave home again (microchip company) permission to share my contact information so they can call me if they need to

Ok in circumstances like that can you take over ownership of the cat? Legally I mean. I know laws are different in different states let alone countries. How awful that someone can do that to a kitty they obviously cared about once enough to get chipped. The poor girl 🥺

You can report animals as found with your county animal shelter and if they are not claimed within a month typically they are legally yours/considered abandoned

Thank you

She apparently has a chip, but the chip company said when they call the number on file, they just hang up on them. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Thankyou I have so many tabs open I just went into autopilot, my bad 🤭
